Now Productions

It’s an unpretentious Nintendo DS platformer by Now Productions, but what makes it stand out is the way the main character, Wiley Springer, moves. Players have to tap him up so that he jumps on these wires that are scattered throughout the level. Once he grabs on, players have to send him flying across a level by grabbing him with the stylus and pulling back like a slingshot.
Letting go flips him into the air like a trapeze artist and Wiley will bounce around almost like a pinball. (In fact, there are pinball like bouncers strewn through the level.) He can collect stars that add to his bonus when he reaches the end point for each level. This is a title that seems solely focused on stylus use and it’s fun flipping Wiley around. I was afraid that the 48 stages in the Quest mode could be a little monotonous. It seemed as if the only way Wiley could move is up. But playing through a few levels, I saw that there was enough variety to keep things interesting.

In some levels, Wiley will have to move horizontally through caves and such. In another stage, he’ll have to outrace a rising lava pit. Later on in the adventure, players will actually have to draw in the wires that they flip Wiley onto.

As for multiplayer mode, the game supports up to four gamers via ad hoc mode, and the only gameplay mode I heard of is a sort of race that players will compete in as they rush to the finish.
